Liu Sanye let out a long sigh and said: "Today we are all together. I, the old man, rely on his old age to show off his old age. Let me say a few words. The reason why people are human is that they have human nature. If they do not have human nature, then they are not human beings, but beasts!
We escaped from famine all the way from Liujia Village, relying on mutual support and humanity.
If one day that kind of beast appears among us, I, Liu San, will be the first to take action and kill him!"
The heads of the families nodded one after another. They could not imagine how miserable it would be if their family members pressed them in front of them! The reason why people are human is because they have feelings. If the feelings are gone, what is the point of living like a walking zombie?
?
"Brothers, brothers, and nephews, please remember the teachings of the third grandfather, otherwise Ye Dewang's result will be your ending!"
Liu Xingzhi said lightly, but there was no doubt in his tone. Then he glanced towards the crowd for a moment, and then quickly took it back!
Yun Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing in his heart that that person had included these people in the protective circle!
"Okay, okay!" Mr. Liu clapped his hands and said loudly: "Remember what your third brother and third uncle said, otherwise, my old man will be the first to disagree!"
Mr. Liu San is an old man and he understands what Liu Xingzhi means.
Although the others didn't understand, they were excited by the atmosphere and all cheered!
"San'er, do you think we should stay here for one more day?" Liu Yi licked the oil on his lips, pointed at the spring and said, "We have water now. As long as we catch prey, it's not a bad idea to fix it!"
Yun Xi looked at the spring not far away. If she saw it correctly, the water in the spring was obviously smaller than yesterday. I'm afraid this spring wouldn't be able to support it for long!
Liu Xingzhi pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "This place is too close to the wolves. Those wolves have lost their wolf king. They don't know what to do for the time being. But when they calm down and elect a new wolf king, there will probably be more."
Caught up.
Dashu and I didn't dare to touch the wolves, just because we were afraid that they would smell the smell and seek revenge on us.
But that thing is too sophisticated. Although we are not afraid, if we encounter a pack of wolves head-on, many of us will definitely be injured.
Besides, I’m afraid this water won’t last long, so why not take the opportunity to fill up our water tank so that it can last for a while longer.”
Everyone heard that the wolves might come again, so they didn't mention resting. They quickly packed up their cars and things and prepared to move on.
Perhaps stimulated by the Liuye family, the relationship between the families became more harmonious. For example, the Li family did not have a stroller, but the Xu family had extra space, so they put it in it.
As Liu Xingzhi walked, he prepared archery equipment. Although he did not have iron arrows for the time being, he could still use them by sharpening the wood. In addition, Old Man Liu and others were not idle, and helped sharpen a lot of sharp sticks.
arms.
If I encounter prey on the road, I will catch the small ones and drive away the big ones. After walking for two days, I finally walked out of the forest.
After leaving the forest, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the expressions of Mr. Liu Sanye and Liu Xingzhi were even more solemn!
The next step will be the most difficult part, because we are about to leave the territory of the feudal lord and enter the territory of the emperor.
Although they were not in King Qin's territory, the other kings were not easy to get along with. Although their relationship with the emperor had not completely collapsed, it was still tense.
At this time, the battle is about people, so it may not be easy for men like them to pass through the defense line smoothly.
"San'er, did you get any information? What's the next step?"
Liu Sanye looked at the people who were blocked within the city wall with a somewhat ugly look on his face. There seemed to be thousands of them. If there was no way to get through, he would have to go back the way he came.
Liu Xingzhi came back with some inquiries, his face turned a little dark, he was silent for a few breaths and said: "Right now, we have three ways. First, this city gate is opened with half a stick of incense every day, and about 100 people can pass through each time. I
I asked those in line and found that many of them had been waiting for more than seven days and were still not sure when they would be able to leave.
The second is to pass through Fengwei Mountain not far from the city gate. That mountain is controlled by a group of bandits. If you want to go up, you need to pay some silver coins. After passing Fengwei Mountain, you only need to walk for two or three days to enter.
The emperor's territory.
The third way is to walk south for two days, then pass through a deep mountain and old forest, and go east. After more than a month's walking, you can reach the emperor's territory.
Each of these three paths has its pros and cons, it depends on your uncles, how do you choose?"
"How do I pay the money?" Yun Xi understood in his heart that although there were three choices, in fact, there might only be one choice in the end. The city gate was open for a short time, and the only way to get through was to see who offered enough benefits.
To be honest, these people don't have much money to spare, and they don't have enough food to support them in lining up.
As for the second way, it depends on how much a head costs!
"Seven taels!" Liu Xingzhi sighed softly, "No matter how big or small!"
Hearing this sentence, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed. There were nearly seventy people in their company, including adults and children. Each person had seven taels, which was four hundred and ninety taels.
Even if these eight families are not poor, they can only afford twenty or thirty taels at most. Even if a family has twenty taels, that is 160 taels, which is too far away from 490 taels. This second way,
It also seems to be a dead end.
Besides, if you take out the money, can you pass under the eyes of the robber smoothly?
"I heard that those bandits are quite moral. They will let them go as long as they give them money!"
As if he figured out what everyone was thinking, Liu Xingzhi spoke up again.
After hearing what he said, everyone's minds changed, and everyone started talking.
"Ms. sir, you take your two children and leave. My wife is queuing up here, and she might be able to get in line!" Not far away, Li He stuffed the money into the hands of her man, obviously wanting to leave the hope of living to him.
Men and children.
Other families also quarreled, and those with little money wanted to leave their hope to their children. But for a family with a small population like the Li family, it was also a troublesome matter for whom to leave the money to!
Neither Mrs. Liu nor Old Man Liu moved. They probably guessed their son's choice, so they were not in a hurry.
In fact, the third road is not easy either. It is already early September, and the temperature in the mountains is low. I am afraid that winter will soon enter. The temperature on the top of the mountain is even lower, and it may even snow in advance. If you encounter such weather, you want to survive and survive.
Not an easy task.
In addition, everyone has no cotton on hand, so keeping warm is a big problem.
Liu Sanye looked at the chaotic houses and sighed, but didn't say much.
He cannot help others make decisions about life and death.
Because they had not figured out what to do, the people of Liujia Village took a rest on the spot. This place is not far from the army, and there are not many robberies and fights. Moreover, those who can settle here and wait for the door to open must have a somewhat wealthy family, otherwise they would not be able to hold on.
